Latinos/as – Alejandro Coronado, 22

By Jennifer Martinez

Reporting Texas

Alejandro Coronado is a DACA recipient and furloughed retail worker in Dallas, Texas. Coronado is worried he contracted COVID-19 when he began taking odd jobs alongside his father to secure income. His family is undocumented and uninsured.

“It’s frustrating that this is happening and that my family doesn’t have the support that, say, an American family has, but it’s always been like that. I think the frustration came and went a long time ago.”
